WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 With three things my spirit is pleased, which are approved before God and men:
·
1 I enjoy three things, and they are beautiful before the Lord and men: the agreement of kindred, the friendship of neighbors, and a woman and her husband who walk together in agreement.
2 The concord of brethren, and the love of neighbours, and mall and wife that agree well together.
·
2 But my soul hates three sorts of people, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man who is arrogant, a rich man who is a liar, and an old fool who is an adulterer.
3 Three sorts my soul hateth, and I am greatly grieved at their life:
·
3 If you gathered nothing in your youth, how could you find anything in your old age?
4 A poor man that is proud: a rich man that is a liar: an old man that is a fool, and doting.
·
4 How beautiful a thing is judgment in the gray-haired, and for elders to know good counsel!
5 The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age?
·
5 How beautiful is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men who are in honor!
6 O how comely is judgment for a grey head, and for ancients to know counsel!
·
6 Much experience is the crown of the aged. Their glory is the fear of the Lord.
7 O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour!
·
7 There are nine things that I have thought of, and in my heart counted happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: a man who has joy with his children, and a man who lives and sees the fall of his enemies.
8 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
·
8 Happy is he who dwells with a wife of understanding, he who has not slipped with his tongue, and he who has not served a man who is unworthy of him.
9 Nine things that are not to be imagined by the heart have I magnified, and the tenth I will utter to men with my tongue.
·
9 Happy is he who has found prudence, and he who speaks in the ears of those who listen.
10 A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies.
·
10 How great is he who has found wisdom! Yet there is none greater than one who fears the Lord.
11 Blessed is he. that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him.
·
11 The fear of the Lord surpasses all things. To whom shall he who holds it be likened?
12 Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth.

13 How great is he that findeth wisdom and knowledge! but there is none above him that feareth the Lord.
·
13 Any wound but a wound of the heart! Any wickedness but the wickedness of a woman!
14 The fear of God hath set itself above all things:
·
14 Any calamity but a calamity from those who hate me! Any vengeance but the vengeance of enemies!
15 Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened?
·
15 There is no venom worse than a snake’s venom. There is no wrath worse than an enemy’s wrath.
16 The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it.
·
16 I would rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than keep house with a wicked woman.
17 The sadness of the heart is every plague: and the wickedness of a woman is all evil.
·
17 The wickedness of a woman changes her appearance, and darkens her countenance like that of a bear.
18 And a man will choose any plague, but the plague of the heart:
·
18 Her husband will sit among his neighbors, and when he hears it, he sighs bitterly.
19 And ally wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
·
19 All malice is small compared to the malice of a woman. Let the portion of a sinner fall on her.
20 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate him:
·
20 As walking up a sandy hill is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
21 And ally revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
·
21 Don’t be ensnared by a woman’s beauty. Don’t desire a woman for her beauty.
22 There is no head worse than the head of a serpent:
·
22 There is anger, impudence, and great reproach if a woman supports her husband.
23 And there is no anger above the anger of a woman. It will be more agreeable to abide with a lion and a dragon, than to dwell with a wicked woman.
·
23 A wicked woman is abasement of heart, sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart. A woman who won’t make her husband happy is like hands that hang down, and weak knees.
24 The wickedness of a woman changeth her face: and she darkeneth her countenance as a bear: and sheweth it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbours,
·
24 The beginning of sin came from a woman. Because of her, we all die.
25 Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little.
·
25 Don’t give water an outlet, and don’t give a wicked woman freedom of speech.
26 All malice is shore to the malice of a woman, let the lot of sinners fall upon her.
·
26 If she doesn’t go as you direct, cut her away from your flesh.
27 As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of tongue to a quiet man.

For either we shall have spoken in the ears of them that will hear, and our words will bear some fruit, namely an advantage to you (since the Sower soweth the Word upon every kind of mind; and the good and fertile bears fruit), or else you will depart despising this discourse of ours as you have despised others, and …
